WEST PALM BEACH, Fl.— Florida law enforcement agencies will launch a statewide criminal investigation into the apparent assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday.
DeSantis told reporters that the “suspect is believed to have violated state law.” DeSanti’s announcement comes one day after Ryan Routh was indicted on federal gun charges.
Routh did not fire any shots, never had Trump in his line of sight and sped away after an agent saw him firing in his direction, officials said. He was arrested in a nearby county.
